The New York Times says that it is au
thollZcd to announce that the control Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has passed into
the hands Of Alfred Sully, of New York.
Sully, it says, has a written contract by
virtue of which President Robert Garrett
puts him in possession. In an article over
a column long the Times says;
The possibilities of this new control are
beyond estimation. BY the requirement of

Mr.. Cleveland TALKS business.

The President has been talking about
1888. 1t happened in this way
The subject of the Interstate commerce
cOmmissiOncrShip was under consideration
and the issue of politics was brought in.
The question was whether q certain gen.
tleman whom the President desired to have
upon the commission could afford to ac-
Cept. Very frankly the point was made
that Mr.. Cleveland might not be his own
successor, in which event the one accept
ing the COmmisSiOnCrship for the short
term would serve during the pcrplcXing
and unsatisfactory period that the law was
being put i'll operation, and would then, in
al probability, find himself thrown out.

This is the frankcst expression that has

\ Case with n History.

The United States Supreme Court has
just rendered decision in the case Of the
heirs Of Herman SpCidlc against Jacob
llcnrci, brought on an appeal from the
United States Circuit Court for the Western
district Of Pennsylvania which brings to
light an interesting story.
In 1901 Geo. Rapp, brought to this
country from Wurtcmburg about SO fami
lies and settled on the banks of the Ohio
river about 20 miles from Pittsburg. The
company were known as the "Ilarmony
economists and the town they fancicd was
called Economy. Rapp not only installed
himself as leader, but informed his follow
crs that he Was their prophet and that they
would jcOpardiZc their salvation if they
failed to turn all their property over to the
church, he being the Scli.Snmc church.
This was done and then the Self-made
prophet issued another cdict forbidding
marriage among his subjects. Everything
went smoothly with the colony, and they

.
''Do you anticipate q collision with Cam
ada or Great Britain2"
Hardly. Such thing is possible, but
not probable. Negotiations will eventually
intervene"
WHAT do you think of the course of the
Canadian governments"
"Waiving the consideration of all treaty
rights, stipulations and restrictions, and
looking at the naked facts as thcy exist,
Canada exhibits very unfriendly spirit,
and is anything but neighborly."
The Senate bill, as well as the House
bill, conferred a very wide discretion upon
President Cleveland, did it not?"
II have only read them in a general way,
but the Senate bill seemed quite as sweep
ing in comforting discretion and grave re-
sponsibility upon the President as the
House bill, except as TO the railway trans,
portation."
"Isnt it something unusual for politicians
to confer such important powers upon an
opponent as the Senate bill sought to con,
fer upon President Clcvelaud?"
"lt is not the usual thing, and rather
suspect that the Republican Senators
thought that they could use this rctaliatory
bill in the Presidential campaign of 1885,
use it how?"
''Well, if President Cleveland exercised
his discretion and prccipta,ed collision
he would be held responsible; if he didn't
and the dispute fingered along in statu quo
they would hold him responsible for that.
They proposed to catch him coming o.
going"
"Very likely"
"What are the chances of catching hin
in the event rctaliatory measure Is finall,
agreed on?'
''Rathcr slim, indeed. The wide discrC

In the Senate this morning Chaplain
Allison startled the august body by
closing his prayer with word for the
newspaper men. He said: "And now,
dear Lord, bless the reporters. whose
nlmble pens catch our every word almost
before it is uttered. Like thysclf, they
are omnipresent and almost omnipotcnt.
If we take the wings of the morning and
fly to the utmost parts of the earth they
are there. They meet us in the iungles
OF Africa; they waylay us in the solitary
canons of Colorado, and when at length
we find the latitude of the magnetic pole
behold they are there. May their light
and goodness be equal to their powor,
and when the general assembly of heaven
oonVenes let no reporter be excluded.
Amen"~~St. Paul Letter in Chicago
